Delaina Engberg is an American interdisciplinary artist, writer, and curator currently based in Madrid, Spain. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting, with a minor in History and Theory of Contemporary Art, from the San Francisco Art Institute.

She uses an array of mediums to meditate on the psychics of space and, specifically, uses painting to guide investigations of intimacy, boundaries, of bodies coming and going, and remnants of bodies in space. Her main goals as a scholar and writer are delving into how women artists create meaning and find voices through their work and exploring the limits of academic language by and with poetic language. She feels strongly that the beauty of writing and language is the realization you will never say exactly everything that needs to be said, but, in that, there is a freedom to say everything you can.

She has curated several shows including; “Poetry as Critical Form”, “New Images of Woman”, “Room of One’s Own”, and “History/ Archeology/ Genealogy” at the Diego Rivera Gallery at 800 Chestnut St., San Francisco, CA.
